This form is used by the Education Department to calculate requests for budget support to fund the Bundy program. It is to the advantage of each institution to make the estimate as accurate as possible. If for any reason there are increases/decreases or other variations of significant numbers between one year and another, please provide a comment or explanation. Without this information, individual institutions may need to be contacted to verify unusual growth or change patterns.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Line 1 : Only independently chartered two-year institutions should use this line.

Lines 2 through 21: Use the Rules of the Board of Regents, Section 3.54, to define the “Degree Category” or rate of Bundy Aid to ascertain which degrees should be entered on each line.

Revised 3/01/17 1 Multi-Campus Institutions

Multi-campus institutions are required to submit a separate “Estimate of Earned Degrees To Be Conferred” (NYSED-2A) form, for each official branch campus so that it will be possible to check these forms against other data, i.e. the number of degrees awarded as reported on the IPEDS-C form. The Department will combine multi-campus totals to calculate a total entitlement for Bundy Aid payments:

Examples:  Long Island University: Brentwood, Brooklyn, C.W. Post, New York University, Rockland, Riverhead, and Westchester.  Pace University: New York, Pleasantville, and White Plains  Cornell University (Endowed) and Cornell Medical College.

Exclusions for Statutory Colleges

The degrees awarded by the Statutory Colleges located at Cornell University and Alfred University should NOT be included in the figures reported for these institutions. These exclusions will result in making the figures comparable to those reported on the IPEDS-C, “Completions Survey” form.

Please include in a separate memorandum a statement of the number and level of degrees awarded by each of the Statutory Colleges.

Form Submission

The completed form will be submitted electronically. The due date is to be determined. Please retain a copy in your files in the event your institution needs to be contacted for clarification.
